The Ultimate Watch Party Experience in Orlando
Watching the big game at home is fine, but there is something about gathering your crew at a bar with big screens, cold beer, and the energy of fellow fans that makes game day truly special. The problem is that most sports bars in Orlando are packed, loud, and impossible to enjoy with a group. You end up scattered across the bar, fighting for a table, waiting in line for drinks, and settling for whatever overpriced appetizers the kitchen is pushing.
Pour Choice Taphouse in Orlando's Mills 50 District offers a completely different way to experience game day. With multiple HDTVs, 50 rotating self-pour taps of craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap, a full liquor bar, and the ability to bring your own food, this is the watch party venue that sports fans have been waiting for. Add in private and semi-private options for your group, space for up to 91 guests inside plus a large outdoor area, a large shared parking lot, and free street parking, and you have everything you need for the ultimate watch party.
Whether you are organizing an NFL watch party, a Super Bowl gathering, a playoff viewing, a UFC or boxing watch party, a fantasy football draft, or just a regular season game day with friends, Pour Choice makes it better than anywhere else in Orlando.
Why Pour Choice Is the Best Watch Party Venue in Orlando
There are plenty of places to watch a game in Orlando, but Pour Choice Taphouse brings together a combination of features that no other venue can match. Here is why sports fans are choosing Pour Choice for their watch parties and game day events.
Multiple HDTVs
Multiple HDTVs throughout the venue mean you will never miss a play, no matter where you are sitting or standing. Every angle is a good angle for the big game.
50 Self-Pour Taps
Pour your own craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, or cocktail on tap whenever you want. No flagging down a server. No waiting in a line at the bar. Just get up, pour, and get back to the game.
BYO Game Day Food
Bring wings, pizza, nachos, sliders, or whatever game day food you want. Order from your favorite restaurants, bring a food truck, or set up a full spread. You control the menu.
Private and Semi-Private Options
Reserve a private or semi-private space for your crew so you do not have to compete with strangers for seats, TVs, or elbow room. Your watch party, your space.
Room for Large Groups
Space for up to 91 guests inside, plus a large outdoor area. Finding a bar that can handle your whole crew is tough. Pour Choice makes it easy.
Full Liquor Bar
In addition to the self-pour taps, experienced bartenders serve cocktails, wine, and spirits. Every guest gets exactly the drink they want during the game.
Self-Pour Taps: The Game Changer for Watch Parties
If you have ever tried to get a drink at a crowded sports bar during a big game, you know the frustration. The bar is three people deep, the servers are overwhelmed, and by the time you get your beer and make it back to your seat, you have missed a crucial play. It is one of the biggest pain points of watching sports at a bar, and it is one that Pour Choice Taphouse has completely eliminated.
With 50 rotating self-pour taps, you are in control of your own drink experience. When you want a refill, you simply walk up to the tap wall, use your RFID wristband, and pour. The entire process takes seconds, not minutes. You pay only for what you pour, by the ounce, which means you can try a small sample of something new or fill up your glass without waiting for anyone.
This is a genuine advantage for watch parties. During a timeout or halftime, your whole group can refill their drinks in the time it would take one person to get served at a traditional bar. During the action, nobody has to choose between watching the game and getting a drink. The self-pour system keeps the drinks flowing and keeps your eyes on the screen.
The Variety Factor
The 50 taps at Pour Choice feature a rotating selection of craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap. This variety is a huge plus for watch parties because every person in your group can find something they love. The craft beer enthusiast can explore local brews and limited releases. The person who does not drink beer can pour a hard seltzer or cider. And the cocktail lover can grab a pre-mixed cocktail on tap or head to the full liquor bar for something custom.
For game day, this variety means no compromises. At most sports bars, you are choosing between a handful of mass-market beers and maybe a few craft options. At Pour Choice, you have 50 taps of rotating options plus a full bar. It is the drink experience that sports fans deserve.
No Lines. No Waiting. No Missing the Game.
Self-pour taps mean you never have to choose between watching the action and getting a drink. Pour your own beer during a commercial break, grab a seltzer at halftime, or try something new between quarters. Your RFID wristband handles everything, and you only pay for what you pour.
BYO Food: Game Day Eats Your Way
What is a watch party without great food? At Pour Choice Taphouse, you can bring your own food, order delivery from any restaurant, hire a caterer, or even bring a food truck. There are no restrictions on what you bring or where it comes from. You handle the food exactly how you want, and we handle the drinks.
This is a massive advantage for watch parties. Instead of settling for whatever the kitchen at a sports bar is serving, you get to eat the game day food you actually want. Here are some ideas that watch party groups love.
Classic Game Day Favorites
- Wings from your favorite wing spot. Bring them hot and fresh, or order delivery timed to kickoff.
- Pizza from the best pizzeria in Orlando. Order a stack of pies and let everyone grab a slice between plays.
- Sliders and burgers from a local restaurant or food truck.
- Nachos and chips with all the toppings. Set up a nacho station and let everyone build their own.
- Sub sandwiches or a hero platter that you can order in advance and set out for the group.
Going Above and Beyond
- Food truck parked outside serving tacos, barbecue, or whatever your crew craves.
- Professional catering with a full game day spread, from appetizers to desserts.
- Barbecue platters with brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and all the fixings from a local BBQ spot.
- Homemade chili, dips, and snacks that add a personal touch to your watch party.
- A dessert setup with cookies, brownies, and other treats for the second half.
The food flexibility at Pour Choice saves you money and gives your group exactly what they want. Most sports bars charge a premium for mediocre appetizers. At Pour Choice, you can bring better food for less money and put the savings toward more time at the taps.
Watch Parties for Every Sport and Every Occasion
Pour Choice Taphouse is not just for one kind of watch party. The combination of multiple HDTVs, self-pour taps, a full bar, BYO food, and flexible space makes it the right venue for any sports event. Here are some of the most popular watch party types that groups host at Pour Choice.
NFL Watch Parties and Super Bowl Events
Football season is watch party season, and Pour Choice is the place to be for NFL Sundays, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and the Super Bowl. Multiple HDTVs mean you can watch multiple games at once during the early and late windows, and the self-pour taps keep the drinks flowing all day long. For the Super Bowl, book a private or semi-private space, bring your favorite game day food, and enjoy the biggest sporting event of the year with your crew in a space that is set up just for you.
Playoff and Championship Watch Parties
Whether it is the NBA Finals, the World Series, the Stanley Cup, March Madness, or the College Football Playoff, championship events deserve a better setting than your living room couch. At Pour Choice, you get the big-screen experience with the atmosphere of a real sports bar, but with the space and privacy of a reserved area. No fighting for seats, no craning your neck to see the screen, and no waiting in line for a drink.
UFC and Boxing Watch Parties
Fight nights call for a special kind of watch party. The energy of a UFC or boxing event is amplified when you are surrounded by fans, pouring your own drinks, and watching on multiple HDTVs. Pour Choice provides the perfect setting for fight night, with enough room for your group to watch together and enough taps to keep everyone satisfied through every round.
Fantasy Football Drafts
Your fantasy football draft is one of the most important days of the year. It deserves better than a kitchen table with a laptop. At Pour Choice, you can set up your draft in a private or semi-private space with multiple HDTVs for displaying the draft board, 50 self-pour taps to keep the trash talk lubricated, and BYO food so everyone has their favorite snacks. It is the draft experience your league has been waiting for, and it sets the tone for the entire season.
College Game Day
College football Saturdays and college basketball tournaments are made for watch parties. Whether you are cheering for the Gators, the Seminoles, the Knights, or any other team, Pour Choice gives you the space, the screens, and the drinks to make game day special. Bring your friends, wear your colors, and pour your own victory drinks as your team fights for the win.
Soccer and International Events
For World Cup matches, Champions League finals, and other international sporting events, Pour Choice is an excellent gathering spot. The multiple HDTVs ensure everyone has a great view, and the self-pour tap wall means you can keep your drink topped off without missing a minute of action. Bring international food to match the occasion and create a watch party that celebrates both the sport and the culture.
Bring Your Own Food. Bring Any Caterer.
You are never locked into a set menu or an overpriced catering package. Bring a food truck, order trays from your favorite restaurant, set up a taco bar, or hire a professional caterer. The food is entirely your call, and that flexibility is one of the biggest reasons groups choose Pour Choice for their events.
The Complete Watch Party Package at Pour Choice
When you book a watch party at Pour Choice Taphouse, you get access to everything that makes this venue special. Here is the full picture of what your watch party experience looks like.
Multiple HDTVs for the Big Game
Multiple HDTVs throughout the venue ensure that every guest has a clear view of the action, no matter where they are in the space. Whether your group is gathered around a table, standing near the taps, or hanging out in the outdoor area, nobody misses a play. For events with multiple games happening at the same time, different screens can show different games so your group can follow everything they care about.
50 Self-Pour Taps and Full Bar
The 50 rotating self-pour taps are stocked with craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap. Your guests use RFID wristbands to pour their own drinks and pay by the ounce. This means zero wait time for drinks during the game. In addition, the full liquor bar with bartenders offers cocktails, wine, and spirits for guests who prefer something different. The combination ensures that every person at your watch party has exactly what they want to drink.
Private and Semi-Private Space
One of the biggest advantages of hosting your watch party at Pour Choice rather than just showing up at a random sports bar is the ability to reserve private or semi-private space for your group. This means guaranteed seating, guaranteed TV access, and a space that is yours for the event. You do not have to arrive two hours early to claim a spot or worry about your group getting split up across the bar.
Indoor and Outdoor Options
Pour Choice has an indoor capacity of 91 guests, plus a large outdoor space. For watch parties, the indoor area puts you close to the HDTVs and the taps, while the outdoor area provides overflow space for larger groups and a more relaxed atmosphere for pregame and halftime socializing. The outdoor area is also great for setting up food stations or hosting a food truck.
Free Parking
A large shared parking lot and free street parking are available near Pour Choice Taphouse, which is a huge advantage for game day events. No parking fees, no garages, and no long walks from a remote lot. Your guests can park, walk in, and start enjoying the watch party right away. The venue is located at 1225 N Mills Ave, Orlando, FL 32803, in the Mills 50 District, close to Ivanhoe Village and downtown Orlando.
Why Watch Parties at Pour Choice Beat Traditional Sports Bars
Traditional sports bars have their place, but for a real watch party with your crew, they fall short in almost every way. Here is how Pour Choice Taphouse compares.
- No waiting for drinks. At a traditional sports bar, game day means long lines at the bar and overwhelmed servers. At Pour Choice, self-pour taps mean you pour your own drink in seconds, any time you want.
- Better drink variety. Most sports bars offer a limited selection of beers on tap. Pour Choice has 50 rotating taps of craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap, plus a full liquor bar.
- Bring your own food. Instead of paying $15 for a plate of mediocre appetizers, bring the game day food you actually want. Wings from the best wing spot in town, pizza from your favorite place, or a full catered spread.
- Reserved space for your group. No scrambling for tables, no hoping that enough seats open up. When you book a watch party at Pour Choice, you have a space that is yours.
- Room for large groups. Good luck fitting your 30-person fantasy league into a booth at a crowded sports bar. Pour Choice has room for up to 91 guests inside, plus outdoor space.
- The self-pour experience. The RFID wristband and self-pour system is fun, interactive, and a great conversation starter between plays. It turns the drink experience into part of the entertainment.
- Pay by the ounce. No overpaying for a beer you did not finish. No dealing with drink minimums. Just pour what you want and pay for what you drink.
"We hosted our fantasy football draft at Pour Choice and it was the best draft we have ever had. The self-pour taps were a hit, the HDTVs were perfect for the draft board, and we brought our own food so the whole thing cost way less than it would have at a restaurant. Already booked for next year."
